So It Goes

Capo 2

Am
Hope is a gun,
           C          G
That you load every day,
Am
As it's chamber is spun,
           C
You bite down on the steel,
          Em
And you pray.

        Am  G/B  C         G                       Am
So it goes,          we re-cycle the errors we've made,
        Am  G/B  C                 G                   Am
So it goes,          we're condemned to repeat and to fade.

Am
Love is a bomb,
         C           G
That can keep you in place,
Am
Can keep you alone,
   C                   Em
Or just go off in your face.

        Am  G/B  C         G                       Am
So it goes,          we re-cycle the errors we've made,
        Am  G/B  C                G                   Am
So it goes,          we're condemned to repeat and to fade,
        Am  G/B  C          G                   Am
So it goes,          it's a curious way to prevail,
        Am  G/B  C            G                     Am
So it goes,          we're perpetually chasing our tails.


F                     C
Leave your logic behind,
F                     C
Put it out of your mind,
G                                Am
That's not how we do things round here,
F                  C
It couldn't be easier,
F                  C
This splendid amnesia,
G
Oh we must not forget,
                          Am
To forget, to forget, to forget.

You bite down on the steel,

And you pray..
